MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Wisconsin Assembly has passed a Republican-sponsored resolution calling on Democratic Gov. Tony Evers to send aid and support to help secure the Mexico border and enforce immigration laws.
The resolution approved Tuesday comes from a pair of Republican legislative leaders who recently visited the border in south Texas.
Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke and President Pro Tempore Tyler August say the issue there is a national crisis that demands Wisconsin take action, even though the state is more than 1,300 miles from the border.
The resolution is non-binding, meaning Evers is not required to take any action.
